This repository focuses on the following two problemx:
- Estimate cosmological parameters from supernova Ia data using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) random walk algorithms.
- Used the same algorithm analyse data from photographic plates from Eddington’s 1919 eclipse expedition in order to determine whether the data favors Newtonian gravity or Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
